“I don't know where you heard the rumors (of annexation), ... I don't know where they got started. In any meeting I've ever been to, we have never mentioned annexation at all. It's never been mentioned.”
William Boyd
“They didn't annex them, but now the other property has been annexed and these adverse things are happening to them without any dialogue to speak of. They need to have a voice, and their voice needs to be heard.”
John Hancock
“So far every other annexation has been in an area they are able to serve. We're just annexing faster than they can construct (infrastructure).”
Jeff Johnson
“In Townsend, we have strived to see that our development doesn't get out of hand, ... Only three properties were annexed for development in the last six years. Middletown created a monster. Why should we have to suffer for the mess they created? What did we do to deserve this?”
Jay Miller
“I found out I was being annexed by a neighbor who got a letter about it.”
Jeffrey Clark
“We are looking for what is best for Kingsport and most of our plans for annexation are for areas east to Kingsport.”
Jeff Fleming
“Annexations are driven by individuals and neighborhoods. I don't think this should be looked at as a maneuver (to annex the Foothills) on the city's part.”
